Eligibility for Falkland Islands Passport Holders
If you hold a valid Falkland Islands passport, you meet the requirement to apply. The system accepts applications from Falkland Islands citizens regardless of their current location. Your eligibility depends on passport validity and a genuine purpose for visiting Tanzania.
Understanding Your Tanzania eVisa
Your Tanzania eVisa is a digital travel permit issued by the Tanzanian government. It exists as an electronic record in the immigration system, linked to your passport number. You do not receive a physical document to carry.
Your eVisa grants permission to enter Tanzania for your stated purpose. It specifies your permitted stay duration and indicates whether multiple entries are allowed. Understanding these details helps you plan your trip correctly.
How to Apply for Your eVisa
Your application begins with completing an online form. You provide personal information, passport details, and information about your travel plans and accommodation in Tanzania.
After submitting the form, you upload digital copies of required documents. These files must be clear and in the specified formats. Your application then enters the processing system for review.
Monitoring Your Application
You can check your application progress at any time. Visit the Tanzania eVisa status page and enter your passport number and order ID. This provides immediate updates on your application without contacting support.
Processing Times and Costs
Different processing options accommodate various timelines. Standard processing is more economical but requires more time, whilst expedited options process faster for a higher fee. Quality standards remain consistent across all processing levels.
Your total cost includes government fees and service fees, listed separately. Review both components before finalising your application. For detailed information about all costs and timeframes, visit our fees and processing time page.
Required Documentation
Your application requires specific supporting documents to verify your identity and travel purposes. Submit all documents as digital files. Rather than detailing each requirement here, we have created comprehensive guidance.

Practical Travel Tips
Before departure, ensure your passport has at least six months validity remaining from your entry date. This standard requirement applies to most countries, including Tanzania.
Tanzania uses the Tanzanian Shilling as currency. ATMs are available in major cities like Dar es Salaam and Arusha. Credit cards work in tourist establishments, but cash is essential for smaller towns and rural areas.
English is widely spoken in tourist areas and business centres. Swahili is the national language, and learning basic phrases shows respect and enhances your experience.
Vaccinations are recommended before travel. Yellow fever vaccination is particularly important for certain regions. Travel insurance including medical coverage is highly advisable. Consult your healthcare provider about current recommendations for your specific itinerary.
Understanding Overstaying Rules
Your eVisa permits you to stay in Tanzania for a specified number of days. Remaining beyond this period is illegal and carries serious penalties. Overstaying results in fines, potential detention, and bans from future entry.
If you need to extend your stay, you must apply for an extension through Tanzanian immigration before your current authorisation expires. Extensions are not automatic and require formal application.
Available eVisa Types
Tanzania offers multiple eVisa categories designed for specific travel purposes. Tourism eVisas suit holiday visitors, business eVisas serve professional travellers, and other categories address specific needs. Each type has particular requirements and conditions.
